Personal:

born in 1964. married 25 years. one wife one dog

6 ft tall, nation wide

"Engaging in a little suffering — however self-imposed, arbitrary and contrived — before breakfast each morning tends to demand some humility and injects some marked relief into the rest of the day, making things sharper, more inspired, more immediately aware of the powerful presence of being. And that seems really worthwhile." A. Krupicka

 

"I cruised down hills, churned up hills, and floated over the asphalt, existing in a world that seemed to lack the confinements of such ubiquitous rivets as time, obligation, or pain. I knew then that this was destined to be one of those serendipitous runs for which so many of 
us strive yet so rarely achieve." J. Nevels

3 miles - owens loop

sun, strong south breeze, 65F

trying to work some consistency back into my running life. today's three miler was my third day in a row. last time i ran three days in a row was the end of September last year, so over six months ago. todays jog was pretty painful. i don't have a lot of natural ability but i know i can pound out consistent miles once i'm in shape. i miss my ten milers...

6 miles - owens/easy st/baptist loops/school weave/wasatch

i consider this my first week back to running. i kept the barest of running threads going during the ski season and this week i made sure to run 5 days in a row which was challenging but i've noticed subtle improvement the last couple of days. tomorrow is closing day at Snowbasin. skiing this year has been great but it does nothing for my fitness. i guess it was better than doing nothing.
